where do you stand on graham-cassidy? >> i would absolutely get behind it for the simple reason that to quote voltaire, perfect is the enemy of the good and sometimes washington is paralyzed by a quest for perfection rather than doing that which is better than they have. this is a great example of that if the problem is lack of money for specific states, that could be fixed. but obamacare can't be fixed. what we have is an airplane that is spiraling toward the ground about to explode and we have people that are complaining about the snacks that are being served. this is why we need to get a handle on the yoke and pull this thing back and keep it in the air and best thing to do it is pass this bill. it empowers states. it gives them flexibility. during the time when i was governor we had 49 out of 50 governors sign on to a proposal to congress that said give us less money. think about that. give us less money, give us more flexibility. we can make medicaid work. i'm telling you, the problem is not that states can't do some
